About me
I am an English Literature graduate from the University of the West of England and now a Bristol based writer. I have experience as an assistant editor and web editor for The Bristol and Bath Magazine as well as managing the company’s social media platforms. I have also written a commissioned piece for The Bristol Cable. I have my own website in which I upload my creative writing and poetry as this is something I do simultaneously to my work. I am currently looking for work in writing, journalism, editing or marketing.
